Gurani

Gurani (also Gorani and Huramani) is classified as Kurdish dialect and a Northwestern Iranian language. It is spoken in some Iranian and Iraqi Kurdistan regions. Hewrami, considered a sub-dialect of Gorani, is a very distinct dialect spoken by Gorani/Hewrami people in a region along the Iran-Iraq border.

Since the nineteenth century, Gorani has slowly been replaced by Sorani in several cities, both in Iraq and Iran.
